Take out the boondhi once the oil stops sizzling. Continue the process and finish off the batter.

Crush a hand full of boondhi's in a mixie.

Take boondhi's in a bowl,add the crushed boondhi, fried items,rock candy and 2 laddles of hot sugar syrup and keep it for 5 minutes.

Stir it once and add the remaining hot sugar syrup, and keep aside for 1/2 an hour. Take little soaked boondhi and make the laddos.[you can apply little ghee on the palm.]
